In
response to criticism of NRA VP Wayne LaPierre‘s suggestion that armed guards
be placed in schools following the Sandy Hook massacre and the double standard
presented by the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, nationally
syndicated radio talk show host
Alex Jones has posted a petition on We the People: Your Voice in Our Government,
the federal government’s petition website.

Journalist Alex Jones and Infowars.com are calling for President Barack Obama
to issue an executive order amending the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. The
executive order will establish the White House, all federal buildings and
federal events as gun free zones and all federal security personnel will turn in
their guns. We also demand the order apply to private schools such as Sidwell
Friends School attended by the president’s daughters. This petition is a
response to government and corporate media dismissing a call for armed guards at
schools following the Sandy Hook shooting. Jones and Infowars.com believe there
should not be a double standard. If the government believes gun free zones are a
solution for citizens, the same standard should apply to government servants and
employees.

“Since the government has bought over a billion rounds of ammo and armed
vehicles and is hardening facilities, we are calling for them to all to turn
their guns in, including all federal police… and the military,” Jones said on
Friday prior to the petition post on the White House site.

The petition follows remarks made by corporate media host David Gregory over the weekend. Gregory
criticized LaPierre for his armed guards in schools idea. Following Gregory’s
dismissive remarks, it was reported that the Meet the Press host enrolled his
children in an elite school – the same D.C.-based Sidwell Friends attended by
Obama’s children – where students are protected by no less than 11 armed
security guards.

“Gregory isn’t the only one putting himself in this hypocritical box,
though,” writes Warner Todd Huston. “Chicago Mayor Rahm
Emanuel was reportedly ‘outraged’ at the NRA’s security guard plan. But Emanuel also
sends his kids to a school that has armed guards plying the hallways every
school day. (Not to mention his fully armed personal security detail that
shadows him everywhere he goes.)”

Jones said on Friday that if the government truly believes in gun free zones,
Obama should insist that Sidwell Friends and other elite schools disarm in order
to comply with the federal law. “Because, according to them, that’s what makes
us all safe,” Jones told Infowars.com.

Proponents of gun free zones and the 1990 law mandating them
never mention the fact that mass murderers specifically target defenseless
schools, theaters and malls because they know there will be little resistance to
their rampages if a defense-free rule is in effect.

“We must stop blinding ourselves to the obvious: Most of these
mass killings are happening at schools where self-defense is prohibited,” Carla Howell, executive director of the
Libertarian Party, said in a statement following the Sandy Hook massacre. “Gun
prohibition sets the stage for the slaughter of innocent children. We must
repeal these anti-self-defense laws now to minimize the likelihood they will
occur in the future and to the limit the damage done when they do.”

Despite Gregory’s dismissal and that of government
officials and the corporate media, hiring armed
security guards — and in lieu of that allowing teachers to
carry firearms — is the only rational solution to mass shootings at schools.

For some time now teachers in Israel have carried firearms in response to terrorist
attacks. “Two (armed) teachers would have kept (the Newtown shooter) occupied
for 45 seconds each,” Oren Shemtov, CEO of Israel’s Academy of
Security and Investigation, told Fox News on December 27.

I am just your average joe who goes to work everyday and pays the bills, but I do have a hobby of gardening which was handed down to me by my grandfather who gardened during the Great Depression to Survive in the mountains of Pennsylvania.
